Excerpt from the interview given by Magna Gallery at Printemps Asiatique in 2025
Located in the heart of the Carré Rive Gauche, at 25 rue de Beaune in the 7th arrondissement, the Magna Gallery is dedicated to a renewed dialogue between East and West through exhibitions of modern and contemporary art.
Rodrigue Naucelles, Emmanuel de Boisset, Thomas Guénin and Arnaud Pagnier founded Magna Gallery Paris in 2024. Supported by the expertise of Mignon Yu, exhibition curator, the gallery engages in fundamental research aimed at reflecting contemporary Korean, Chinese and Japanese creation, mirroring Western artists inspired by Asian arts.
For the second time, Magna Gallery will exhibit at the Pagode de Paris for the 9th edition of Printemps Asiatique Paris, from June 3 to 12.
You are four partners—Arnaud Pagnier, Rodrigue Naucelles, Emmanuel de Boisset, and Thomas Guénin—at the helm of Magna Gallery. Could you tell us more about how you met and how the gallery came to be?
Magna Gallery is a joint project born from our four highly complementary personalities. Rodrigue, after having directed the Boccara Gallery and worked for Artcurial, has been established as an art dealer for over fifteen years, with a proven expertise in the great names of 20th-century painting. Emmanuel and Arnaud created their gallery in
Lille and Paris in 2014, after a career in the luxury and tech sectors. Thomas joined us in 2019, after a dual degree in photography and art commerce. Under the Magna Gallery Paris banner, we are involved together in artistic exchanges between East and West.
What is certain is that our new gallery is based on a shared and broad passion for art and collecting. As an anecdote, the Magna Gallery Paris project, positioned on the contemporary scene, began with passionate discussions about ancient art! The creation of a permanent space, a true gallery embodying our taste and artistic vision, led us to formally join forces after several years of collaboration that confirmed our affectio societatis.
